THE GAME BREEDERS WON! 



A Common Sense Victory! 



President of U. S. Issues Proclamation for More Game and Game Breeding 



Migratory Bill which said you must- not! you must not! in tiresome 

 phrases, changed just before it was enacted so as to say you may! Section 

 12 at the end of the new Law tells the story: 



SECTION 12. NOTHING IN THIS ACT SHALL BE 

 CONSTRUED TO PREVENT THE BREEDING OF 

 MIGRATORY GAME BIRDS ON FARMS AND PRE- 

 SERVES AND THE SALE OF BIRDS SO BRED UN- 

 DER PROPER REGULATIONS FOR THE PURPOSE 

 OF INCREASING THE FOOD SUPPLY. 



Readers of The Game Breeder can point with pride to the above com- 

 mon sense. We asked for this Amendment long ago and were told it 

 could not be inserted. The Bill never could have passed without it in our 

 opinion. "It went through as if greased for the occasion," as soon as 

 Section 12 was added. Hereafter when the Wild Lifing Game Protection 

 combination wants any restrictive legislation it would be wise to start the 

 bill with a statement that nothing in it shall be construed to prevent food 

 production or field sports in places where these seem desirable. Hundreds 

 of new game laws will be proposed next winter, no doubt. Hundreds of 

 thousands of dollars can be saved if the bills be made to start right as 

 suggested. Often we have pointed out the necessiity for keeping the 

 game laws off of the farms. The victory at Washington follows quickly 

 our victory on Long Island, where the quails were saved for sport.
